Part two: Returning

"Ladies and gentlemen please return you seats to their up right positions and buckle your seatbelt. We will be landing in Harmony, Massachusetts in a few minutes." The stewardess said over the intercom. Everyone did as they were told. A few minutes later they touched down and got off the plane. They gathered the luggage and made their way to the guy holding a sign with the names. He took them to the awaiting car. He loaded the luggage and they all climbed in. "Where will you be going?" He asked starting the car. "427 Railroad Drive." Ethan said. They left the airport and headed to the house Ethan got over the internet. They arrived and the driver unloaded all the bags and carried them in. Theresa paid him and he left. "Well looks like we're home." Ethan said leading her into the living room. "Home is back in Paris." Theresa said moving over to the window and looking out. "Theresa you heard what papa said. This is where our next path leads." Ethan wrapped his arms around her. "Just promise me that we will always be together." "Theresa we will always be together and that is some thing you can count on." "So , why don't we look around and then we can go for a walk and check out this town?" "I like the way you think." They carried their bags up to their room and toured the house. Ethan made sure to get a house Theresa would like. After they checked out both inside and out they left and went for a walk. "Ethan what was that address of my parents?" "Um 429 Railroad Drive." She stopped as she looked across the street. There was five girls and a boy sitting in the front yard. She recognized the boy and the girls with dark black hair were her siblings Miguel and Paloma. They were younger then her. "Theresa are you all right?" Ethan asked. "Yeah, come on let's walk." They walked all over Harmony and checked things out. "Oh look a restaurant shall we go in and eat?" Ethan said seeing the Lobster Shack. "I am hungry but it looks like you need a reservation." "So we call and get one." He pulled out his phone and called. Luckily he got one. "So we have a half an hour." Ethan said. "Ok, so let's go home and change." "Ok." They walked home and changed. "Do you want me to order a car?" Ethan asked as she finished getting ready. "Yeah that would be great until we get one tomorrow." Theresa said running the straps of her shoes up her legs. He called for a car and tuned to see her coming down the stairs. "Wow you look amazing." "Thanks." She said smiling. The was a knock on the door and Ethan opened it to find the same driver from earlier." Your car is hear." He said. "Good." Theresa said and they left. He drove them to the Lobster Shack and said he would be back when they called. He gave them his card. They went in and were seated. They ordered and sat looking around. "Theresa what are you looking at?" Ethan asked as her eyes were glued to the front door. "Our families just walked in." Ethan turned and saw them all. "Oh my." Ethan said seeing them all. "Do you want to leave?" "No, we are here. Besides I want to see what they are like." "Ok." Ethan said. They watched them off and on while through dinner. They seemed like a really close family. Theresa and Ethan got ready to leave. She was waiting by the door while Ethan called the car. "Ethan, I am over her." Theresa called to him as he looked around for her. The name caught everyone's attention. "Oh, ok the car will be here in a minute." Ethan said. The families watched them as they waited and left. "It can't be." Pilar said. "You have to remember that there are many people named Ethan and we don't even know the girls name." Martin said. "But they look like the two in my dream." Pilar said. "Come on let's get home. It's been a long day." Martin said. They all left. Theresa and Ethan arrived home and went in. "They seem like nice people." Theresa said taking off her shawl. "How about we not talk about it right now." Ethan said walking over to her. "Whatever did you have in mind?" She snaked her arms around his neck. "Well before we found out about our families we were talking about starting one." "So do you want a son or daughter?" "Both." "You want twins?" Theresa said stepping back. "I never thought of twins." Ethan said. "But now that you think of it I could do with twins." "Only if you are giving birth to them." "Ok, we one at a time will work." "Well then I suggest you get over her and let's get started on one."

So a few weeks past and the family watched the two strangers and Ethan and Theresa watched the families. Neither came close but they made sure to watch for the other. They had been there a month a said nothing to the families they knew were missing them. Theresa and Ethan had been hoping to become pregnant soon so they could start there family. Theresa had been feeling sick for a few days so she decided to go see the local doctor. She arrived atr the Russell Street Clinic and went in. She walked up to the desk. "May I help you? The young lady asked. "Yes, I need to see a doctor to see if I am pregnant." "Ok, can I have you name please?" "Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald." "Ok, well Dr. Russell has a appointment available in twenty minutes." "Ok, I can wait." "Ok while you wait will you please fill out these paper?" "Yes." Theresa took the papers from the young girl and sat in the waiting room filling them out. The young girl named Whitney walked into the back. "Mom the young lady Pilar was telling us about is here to see if she is pregnant." "Ok, did she give a name?" Dr. Russell asked. "Yes she said her name was Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald." "Ok, when am I seeing her." "In twenty." "Ok, well get her settled in and I will be in soon." Whitney left her mom's office and walked back to the front. She checked a few people in and called Theresa up. "If you come with me I will get you settled in." Theresa smiled and fallowed her. Whitney got her settled and to the papers she was filling out. A few minutes later Dr. Russell came in. "Theresa, I am Dr. Russell and I hear you are here for a pregnancy test." "Yes, my husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for a month. I have been feeling off for a few days so I want to know if I am or if it is a bug." "Ok, well I will draw some blood and we can run the test." She took her blood and sent it to the lab. "Ok, we will know in a few minutes." "Thanks." "If you don't mind me asking…" "You want to know if my husband and I are the two missing toddlers from 1987?" "Well I know the families and they would be happy to know." "Yes we are. We found out a month ago. That is why we moved here." "So you and Ethan grew up together?" :Yes, our parents were wonderful people." "Were?" "Yes our Mama died six months ago and our Papa about one month ago." "I am sorry." "It is ok. They lived for many years and had a great life." "Why haven't you told your families you are alive?" "We are scared. We have had a great life and we don't know what will happen." "Are you afraid they will split you up?" "No, Ethan and I love each other and nothing can change that. It just it has always been us together, but planning a family takes a lot and trying to find our place in two families that have grown while you were gone is hard." "I understand." There was a knock on the door. Eve opened it and got the papers. She looked them over. "Congratulations you are pregnant." Theresa smiled at those words. "Why don't we do an ultra sound and see how things are going?" "Ok." She laid back on the bed and Eve did the ultra sound. Eve was quiet for a moment and Theresa thought something was wrong. "Dr. Russell is something wrong?" "No, you and your babies are fine." "Babies?" "Yes, Theresa I hear three heart beats and I see three babies." "Three?" "Yes." Theresa smiled and looked at the screen. "I will make you some pictures so you can show your husband." "Thank you." Eve left and Theresa sat up and put her hand on her belly. "Threes babies." Eve returned with some pictures and some vitamin. "Ok, so you are all set." "Thank you." "Whitney has your fallow up appointments set up and she will give you the times." "Ok." "Theresa do you mind if I give you a piece of advise?" Theresa nodded and Eve went on. "You are in for a big event. Your families would love to be part of it. Think about letting them in." "I will." Theresa left after getting a card from Whitney with her times on it. She couldn't wait to get home and tell Ethan.
